The loss of a friend, a leader, and a pillar of the community always brings out the best in those left behind. And after so many courageous efforts on the field over the years, the one I observed Sunday at Brian Harlamert's wake reminded me that the greatest win of all is the love and support from friends and neighbors.
An incredible loss...Shown here with wife Trish and son Aaron (front, center), along with former assistant Toby Siefring (back, left) and Coldwater principal Jason Hemmelgarn, Coldwater baseball coach Brian Harlamert passed away Wednesday at age 51, leaving an Ohio amateur baseball legacy that was recognized and appreciated across the state. With our own condolences, we remember him in today's Press Pros.
